Join us for our 8th FCC Leadership Forum. We are pleased to welcome back T. David Gordon, Professor of Greek and Religion at Grove City College. Dr. Gordon will address the theme of Christian worship in a media-saturated age. He argues that worship through preaching and singing has undergone profound changes in the last generation, many due to technology’s debilitating effects on Christian sensibilities. This fascinating subject will be the focus of this year’s FCC Leadership Forum. Join us as we welcome T. David Gordon for a challenging, worldview-building weekend together.
The FCC Leadership Forum will include two morning sessions, beginning at 9:30 am, and will conclude by mid-afternoon with a third session. Dr. Gordon will remain with us on the Lord’s Day, at which time he will address our adult Sunday School class and preach during our family worship time.
